Bai Wei put down her pen, "This is the company Mr. Chen wants to find in the comrce chamber."
Chen Cheng nodded, "That’s right."
"I will go through the directory when I get back, confirm the company, and then notify you," Bai Wei promised.
"Thank you, Ms. Bai." i Xiang said happily.
Bai Wei waved her hand, "And for Mr. Chen...let’s talk about Plan B first, where are you planning to establish the offshore?"
Chen Cheng paused to think, "Usually, it’s in the Cayman Islands."
"The Cayman Islands, although convenient and relatively low-cost for registration, have a more relaxed regulatory environnt that could attract regulatory attention. Given the scale and sensitivity of our transaction this ti, choosing a financial jurisdiction that is more strict and reputable would indeed be more prudent."
"What would you recomnd?" Chen Cheng asked earnestly.
Bai Wei pondered for a mont, "Singapore, Hong Kong, or Luxembourg are all good choices. These places have mature financial systems, complete legal regulations, and enjoy good international reputations. Plus, they have close economic and trade relations with Japan and our holand, which facilitates subsequent capital operations."
"However,"
Bai Wei shifted her tone, "registering an offshore company is not an easy task, especially in these stricter jurisdictions. You need to provide a detailed business plan, due diligence report, and proof of funds among other docunts. The review process is also quite strict, usually taking weeks or even months to complete."
Chen Cheng’s brow furrowed slightly, as ti was his most concerning issue.
"A few months..." i Xiang murmured softly.
"So, the offshore company has to be already existing," Bai Wei provided the solution, "That’s the fastest way to complete this transaction."
Chen Cheng quickly considered his various known contacts.
From private relationships, the only suitable one was Wen Shulin’s CGG.
"I have a candidate," he looked towards Bai Wei, "CGG."
Bai Wei’s eyes lit up, "Are you sure you can make CGG your Plan B?"
Chen Cheng nodded, "I have good relations with Wen Shulin, and plus, i Xiang knows him."
"That’s really good," Bai Wei smiled, "Next up, your Plan C company."
"You would need to have soone register it dostically, as soon as possible," she added.
"That won’t be a problem, I’ll make a call, and within half an hour, all related licenses and accounts can be set up," Chen Cheng said confidently.
Bai Wei nodded again, "Then it seems both companies for the VIE structure are settled. We just wait for my news now."
Chen Cheng picked up his teacup, "Ms. Bai, thank you for your effort."
Bai Wei elegantly raised her teacup, clinking it gently with Chen Cheng’s, "It’s only right; mutual help and common developnt among Chinese rchants is also our chamber’s purpose."
She turned to i Xiang, her tone gentle, "Miss i Xiang, you also need to be prepared during this period. Once the Company A is finalized, the acquisition process will be very tight; you need to be ready to provide the necessary docuntation and information at all tis."
i Xiang nodded seriously, "I understand, Ms. Bai, I will do my best." She turned to Chen Cheng, her eyes filled with trust and reliance.
"Okay, that’s it for today," Bai Wei put down her teacup.
Chen Cheng, out of courtesy, "Shall we have a simple al together?"
Bai Wei smiled, "Let’s save that al for the celebration banquet. I still need to find the right company for you, can’t keep you waiting."
Chen Cheng understood Bai Wei’s urgency and her responsibilities, and he did not persist further, "Alright, then let’s really celebrate during the banquet."
He stood up, extending his hand to Bai Wei in a gentlemanly manner, "Ms. Bai, thank you again for your help, looking forward to your good news."
i Xiang also stood up, bowing deeply to Bai Wei, "Ms. Bai, 本当にありがとうございました.(Thank you very much indeed)"
Bai Wei watched the two with a smile, then picked up her bag and left.
Chen Cheng and i Xiang escorted her to the car, standing in the chilly autumn night air, but their hearts were no longer cold.
"Brother Cheng," i Xiang clung to Chen Cheng’s arm, softly asking, "Do you think Ms. Bai can really find the right company?"
"Don’t worry, i Xiang. Ms. Bai has extensive connections, she will definitely be able to find the right company."
Chen Cheng paused, "Even if we can’t find one that completely fits, we can also find a workaround. There will always be a solution."
i Xiang nodded heavily, "It’s so good to have you!"
Chen Cheng smiled gently, "Shall we go ho and make so Mapo Tofu?"
"Lets~!"
...
...
Back at the apartnt, i Xiang dived into the kitchen, while Chen Cheng also began making contacts.
He first called Ding Chao Hui.
"Wow, are you back?" a familiar voice ca through the phone.
Chen Cheng leaned on the sofa, "Not yet."
"Are you addicted to being over there?" Ding Chao Hui joked, "You seem so reluctant to think of ho."
"Not at all, I’m talking business."
Chen Cheng seriously asked, "You haven’t taken up your new role yet, have you?"
"No, not until after the New Year, I’ll start in the spring," Ding Chao Hui said, his mouth seemingly full of food.
"Then it’s perfect, I’ll have Xiao Hai co to find you, help set up a company," Chen Cheng continued.
"That’s no problem, anyti."
Chen Cheng thought for a mont, "I’ll send you the na and other details later."
"Okay."
"Hey, what are you up to? You’re eating so deliciously." Chen Cheng asked, hearing Ding Er chew.
"I am eating at Wanbao Hall!" Ding Er responded, "This is..."
"Elder Sister ier~ Elder Sister ier~"
Chen Cheng heard his call and soon after, the voice of Xiao ier ca through the receiver.
"Eh? Xiao Cheng?"
"It’s ." Chen Cheng replied.
Xiao ier asked happily, "How’s everything over there? Have you had dinner?"
Chen Cheng felt warm at this routine care.
"Not yet."
"You must eat well. Don’t starve your stomach; it can’t take that."
"I know."
"How about i Xiang?" Xiao ier asked.
Chen Cheng glanced at her in the kitchen and said, "She’s probably still at the office, quite busy recently. That’s why we need Li Dinger’s help."
"Sothing big going on?" In Xiao ier’s view, asking for Ding Er’s help could only an setting up a company.
"It’s okay, I can co back after it’s sorted out."
"Then take care of your health, don’t tire yourself out."
"Yeah."
Xiao ier then said, "Wanbao Hall has new mutton pot, all from Inner Mongolia, the at quality is really good."
"Great, I’ll eat when I co back."
"I’ll leave you brothers to chat, I need to go to the front desk."
Chen Cheng chatted with Ding Er for a while, bursting into jokes, before finally hanging up the call.
The next call went to Wen Shulin.
"Uh?"
Still the usual greeting thod, Wen Shulin’s greeting absolutely lted Chen Cheng.
"What’re you up to?"
"Shopping with Li Ya," Wen Shulin answered, "What’s up? You’re back?"
"Not yet."
Chen Cheng explained the situation to Wen Shulin, and after hearing it, Shulin said, "Alright, let Xiao Hai bring the stuff over later; I’ll handle the rest."
"Thanks a lot."
Shulin thought for a mont, "This plan, you ca up with it? Impressive indeed!"
"Of course!" Chen Cheng sat back with legs crossed, "You should know who I am."
"Stop bragging, who gave you the idea? You can’t know the ins and outs."
Chen Cheng laughed sheepishly, then shared how Bai Wei had helped him with Wen Shulin.
"Got it," Wen Shulin replied, "This Ms. Bai is pretty impressive."
"Yes, indeed and expert among experts."
Shulin continued, "Alright, once I get things sorted here, I’ll get back to you."
"Is that Chen Cheng? Is it him?" Su Liya’s voice ca.
Without much thought, Wen Shulin passed her the phone.
"Mr... Chen?"
"Yeah." Chen Cheng replied.
"When are you coming back?" asked Su Liya, "My... my mom misses you."
"You kid~" Wen Shulin laughed helplessly, "Alright, alright, Chen Cheng has things to attend to."
She took the phone back, "Co back soon."
"I know."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Cheng shrugged and put down the phone, "Ah, this feeling of being missed, not so bad."
"Brother Cheng, it’s ready." i Xiang ca over with the Mapo Tofu.
"Made in the microwave, it’s pretty fast." Chen Cheng joked.
i Xiang picked up a spoon, "You try it."
Chen Cheng took a bite, diocre, but still comnted, "Good, not bad."
"Really? Then I’ll go make you so tomatoes." i Xiang was enthusiastic, "Then I’ll cut a waterlon."
Chen Cheng put down the spoon, "Let do it. Do we have eggs?"
"Yes!"
Warm yellow lights shone in the apartnt, the slightly darkened Mapo Tofu on the table wasn’t tasty, but it was i Xiang’s heartfelt effort.
